Scientists use both joules and calories. They are two different things. That cake that you just ate is a whole lot of calories. It is making you fat as a pig. You had better do something about it. You look in the mirror and decide it is now or never. You put on your jogging shoes and start moving. You look at your watch and take off. As you move and use calories and time, you are using joules.
What else can I help you with?
Nutritionists use what to measure how much energy you get from foods?
Traditionally, this was measured in calories, or Calories (equal to 1000 calories - note the uppercase!). But the tendency is to use the official unit of energy - the Joule. This is the same unit that is used to measure any type of energy.
Why do scientist use the joule as the unit of measurement of energy instead of calorie?
Scientists use the joule as the unit of energy measurement because it is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is more universally accepted and consistent for scientific calculations. The calorie is still used in some contexts, particularly in nutrition, but the joule is preferred for scientific research and calculations.
How do you use joule in a sentence?

How do you convert 60.5 joules to calories?
To convert joules to calories, you can use the conversion factor 1 calorie = 4.184 joules. Therefore, to convert 60.5 joules to calories, you would divide 60.5 by 4.184 to get approximately 14.45 calories.
How can i use the chemistry word joule in a sentence?
The reaction consumes more joules than supplied by the technobabble. The large Hadron Collider produces collisions in the order of 1 microjoule per particle. Outside of America energy food energy is often expressed in joules instead of calories.
How many calories of energy correspond to 251 J?
1 Joule is equal to 0.23901 calories. Converting 251 Joules by multiplying this gives a figure of 59.99 calories.
What heat measurements does the US use and the world?
The SI unit for energy (including heat energy) is the joule. It is still quite common, in many cases, to use the old unit calorie instead.
What are the units for energy?
In the SI system the units are Joules. You can also use ftlbf (footpoundforce). For thermal energy use calories or BTU
Why scientist use SI units instead of units such as inches and gallons?
The idea is to use an international standard - the same units everywhere.
What is two basic unit of energy scientist use?
Units of energy used in science include the Joule and the calorie.Joules are the most commonly used form and are included in the SI unit. The calorie is still frequently used in food and nutrition sciences. Although they have different values, they are otherwise interchangeable and either may be used.
What kitchen appliance makes use of the Joule-Thompson effect?
A refrigerator is a kitchen appliance that makes use of the Joule-Thompson effect to cool food and beverages stored inside.
Where are calories stored in the body?
If you eat too many calories, instead of using them for energy your body stores the energy as fat to use at a later time. It is stored in your liver, muscles and fat cells.
